The Green Party Trade Union group sends its support to FBU members

The Green Party Trade Union group sends its support to
FBU members striking over the May bank holiday weekend 2014 against “totally unworkable, unaffordable,
unsustainable and unfair” changes to firefighters’ pensions. GPTU recognises
that FBU members perform strenuous, dangerous and, at times, heroic work
on behalf of the community. Their dedication is needed by us all as they are
increasingly on the frontline against the damage being caused by climate
change. Instead of taking effective measures to combat climate change the
government disgracefully attacks firefighters’ just rewards for their vital
work.
